The Canola Council of Canada is urging the federal government to resolve China's block on Canadian canola imports as the one-year anniversary approaches. Canola seed exports to China fell about 70% in 2019, an estimated $1 billion in lost revenue.
The council also wants more support for diversifying into other Asian markets and domestic biofuel use.
China's ongoing block removes a major buyer of Canadian canola, keeping Canadian seed supplies pressured toward other markets. Continued uncertainty weighs on canola basis and feeds the industry's push to diversify demand.
